We’ve been hearing about Windows Phone Tango for a while now and how it will enable OEMs to build cheaper handsets. We now learn that Tango is just the codename for this next build and when it launches, the official name will be ‘Windows Phone 7.5 Refresh’. Unlike Mango, which actually became the official name, the same won’t apply to the next version. The news comes from windowsphoneitaly.com, who confirmed this during an interview with Stephanie Duico, Windows Phone Business Group Lead at Microsoft Italy. While ‘Refresh’ isn’t as cool a name as Tango, we kind of see the reason for this. As the name suggests, the new version of WP7 is a small update and hence the version number remains 7.5. The ‘Refresh’ tag only suggests that the OS is capable of running on lower end phone as well.
